Your credibility is lower than Sam McClure's right now.  It's hard to believe anything you say.

Sorry, can't agree.

Which is a pretty sad indictment on McClure!

 

Kozzie was in Bunbury to play in a carnival game last weekend with the clubs blessing along with Neville Jetta.

Houston himself said he was a Dee until Trac decided to be a princess

Are you referring to his response to Maher and Gaze on SEN, SS22?

I recommend another listen then: he wanted to come home, not to a specific club, at the end of the year, Hinkley supported this, his manager then put to him the possibility of a specific destination, and he rejected it because 'throughout the year there was a little bit of unrest at Melbourne, it seemed, and it probably wasn't the best thing for me to do and I'd rather not go there'.

So, he never was a Dee, and for not-specific reasons. According to himself.

As Paul Connors said Melbourne were never giving up a top 5 pick.

Melbourne had him on the hook. I’m glad he jumped off but he was most certainly on.

Well, there was evidently a hook cast, with his Manager then dangling off it...

My post was only an attempt to clarify what Houston said, in response to what it was said he said.

It's interesting the breadth of opinions on Houston, and (the many?) other recruitment options. I think I'm in your camp on this one.

If you want to go around claiming you are quoting what was said then please get it right. Here is actually what he said. 

"My Manager said Melbourne are keen and I think we can get you home and we can keep it quiet.

“I guess throughout the year there was a bit of unrest at Melbourne it seemed,” Houston told SEN’s The Run Home.

“I let my manager know that it probably wasn’t the best thing for me – I’d probably rather not go there and that sort of opened everything right up and that’s when it opened things up for everyone else and I had to go through the whole process again.”

What are you talking about when you say I recommend another listen. 

It's clear from this quote that he was on to go to Melbourne when his Manager said it but then throughout the year there was a bit of unrest and then he told his Manager it wasn't the best thing for him and that's when it opened things up for everyone else and he says I had to go through the whole process again.

 Actually your question should be why are we talking about Houston full stop. 
I would reply sorry you’re right. I got sucked in. 
Then I would say why are we talking in a Kozzie forum titled him wanting to go home when he hasn’t. 

Edited by Its Time for Another

Perhaps Houston is homesick, like Kossie?

(now I'm talking aabout him)

Bit he was according to all reputable journos going to go to US until the Petracca saga.

That is undeniable that he favoured us 3 mths ago then changed his mind. 

🫡

Hope he stays.

A club can't limit itself to picking only local players but it if it's a choice between two similar players, it's getting to the point to pick the player in the same state.

Love you Kozzie. Must be hard for him with a young family.

Edited by leave it to deever


Time to put this thread to bed until next year, need to concentrate on those that are joining our club in the near future. So glad that Kozzie ended up staying, actually very happy that Kozzie never actually put in a request for transfer Nor Nominated another club. Let’s hope that MFC can find a suitable scenario for Kozz and family that will get them home when needed and that he and family feel really secure and surrounded by a loving family club that we can all feel proud of. 

Onto football matters, one of Kozzie’s goals next season is not to get booked with the MRO.

His absence will absolutely cost us at least one game early next year due to his ability to kick a 3, 4 or 5 goal haul every now and then. And we’re not in a position to be throwing away games.

Fremantle Dockers in box seat to land homesick Melbourne Demons star Kysaiah Pickett after 2025 season

Sorry to be 'that person', just wondering if anyone without pay wall can post what this is about? I assume it'll be click-bait, but interested if anything new here or just re-hashed manure?

it'll be the same story as every year; kozi is homesick and wants to go home to sa...no, wait...wa...no, wait, sa...maybe the nt?

he's contracted til the end of 2027; if he wants to go he wants to...at the end of the year

The latter

It will sell papers in the west.  They cant land him and the dodger from the swans.  Would take 3 first rounders.

Also, he has NO interest in going home, with his partner and her family from Melb (as i understand it)….

So.. F off click baiters

 

Can the Hun run a story tomorrow with Serong, Brayshaw, and Pumpernickel (I know two Freo players) in Dees gear?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
